The Google of China has unveiled its new all-electric, self-driving car

Baidu is using a Chery EQ modified with its driverless tech for
testing in China, a spokesperson for Baidu told Business Insider.
The car is fully electric.

Baidu previously used a BMW 3-series modified with its
driverless tech for testing. That car successfully completed an 18.6-mile route in
December, where it was able to change lanes, perform u-turns, and
merge on and off highways.

The Chinese internet company, often referred to as the Google of
China, is planning to use its autonomous vehicles for a public,
shared shuttle service. It plans to have the vehicles ready for
use by 2018.

Baidu is planning to release the vehicles geographically, and
is mapping routes with information like the height of
traffic lights and location of curbs to successfully do so.

Baidu is also testing its driverless cars in the US and has
employees working on the project in its office in Sunnyvale,
California.
